Same as against Brentford. Faffing about passing the ball around the box . Get the ball in. Anyway a good point considering how poor we were

Wasn’t sure what went on in that game. So frustrated with the passing back & forth around the box instead of getting the ball into the box. Tammy was looking as frustrated as the crowd. Couldn’t understand Roger’s being played so wide. Ah well , all opinion I suppose.

That refcam is really irritating. It adds nothing but annoyance

#AVFC seriously exploring a move to sign Douglas Luiz. Club were considering midfield loan options before Youri Tielemans' injury, with Douglas Luiz discussed among intermedaries. Yet Villa's talks for 27yo have stepped up in recent days. @theathleticfc.bsky.social

We’re going to be sick of hearing Sky talking about the resurgence of Utd aren’t we. 🙄.

So important that we’ve 4 very good centre backs. Remember the days we were scratching around for players.

I would love to see the faces of the audience for this Trump ramblingfest. What the actual hell.

Trump’s speech at Davos shows quite clearly he’s a megalomaniac.

Yawn

I do hope Villa aren’t in panic mode buying. 🤞

I’m not sure Watkins improved his chances of a recall to the England squad with Tuchel at the game yesterday.

Man City = spend spend spend. You’d never know there were 100+charges against them. The longer it goes on the more I think nothing will happen.

I still have difficulty understanding the purchase of Malen , only to not name in the champions league squad. I’m sorry to see him go but he deserves regular starts.

Conor Gallagher close to joining Spurs as my colleague @david-ornstein.bsky.social reports. #AVFC showed significant interest, saw his availability as an opportunity (Emery a big admirer) but the club, sensibly, wanted to maintain their discipline financially & not be in a highest offer race

I’d love Conor’s side to dump Liverpool out of the cup #BarnsleyLiverpool

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

Can’t see how Martinez got injured. 🤔

Mateta with his shirt tucked in looks really odd..I remember when players all had tucked in shirts

I think Ollie Watkins should have kept his criticism of the fans to himself.

Trump is a maniac.. Starmer better not back this nutcase! The world is in a perilous state

I’d imagine it’s going to be so hard for our new young player from Brazil. Far away from home & no other Brazilians in the squad. We need to be patient.
